Food Truck to the Rescue

Are you in charge of planning a big party, such as a family reunion, and overwhelmed by the thought of all that cooking and cleanup, yet you just can’t afford a professional caterer or an upscale restaurant to do the work for you? (And you want to do something a step up from pizza?) Try a local deluxe food truck. Specialty food trucks have become all the rage, and many chefs-behind-the-wheel would be more than happy to cook up big batches of their specialties for your party at reasonable prices (often less than what you would spend on bulk food that you’d buy and cook yourself). Your favorite food truck might even park at your party location, making the food-service part of your party an event (and easier than ever). Many food trucks have unique themes—from gourmet grilled cheese to Korean barbecue—that will liven up your celebration. So if there’s a food truck in your town that you like…or have been wanting to try…ask the chef to super-size it for your next party!
